CEO Dr. Ezekiel Mutua Urges Youths to Produce and Champion for Clean Content

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ezekiel Mutua has urged Kenyan youth in the creative industry and content creators to embrace clean content production, champion for moral values and national aspirations for job and wealth creation.
Speaking when he led the Board in delivering operational equipment to the youth at the SwahiliPot Hub in Mombasa on 19th December, 2020, Dr. Mutua asked the youth to use their talent to bring hope, inspiration as well as promote moral and national values.
The CEO reiterated that time had come for creatives to change the tide and focus on content that will market Kenya positively.
He pledged KFCB’s support to the creatives at the Coastal region as well as other parts of the country, noting that the Board was keen to facilitate them with sound systems, furniture and requisite equipment.
At the same time, Dr. Mutua hailed youth at the center for embracing creativity, saying it would revolutionize the creative industry positively and not to idolize their creative arts.
“We are going to support this centre to be an economic hub for the youth. We also want the centre to be a creative space for artists to showcase their talent in line with the Presidential Big Four Agenda,” Dr. Mutua said.
On her part, the Ministry of ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Nadia Abdalla who presided over the event, said the Government was keen to see the youth prosper in the creative industry, urging the youth to make use of the technology to produce clean content for job creation.
“There is money in clean content, most prominent and successful people across the world are drawn from the Creative Arts, entertainment and talent-based sectors,” the CAS said.
The Board donated over 50 chairs, two Smart TVs and gym mats to help youth projects at the SwahiliPot Hub centre.
